In regards to bills, 9 times out of 10 they will always be much more than expected when it comes to performance cars and modifications.

In regards to the apparent horsepower drop, are you comparing different dynos? Roller versus hub dyno? Compare the graph, response and area under the curve before looking at the final numbers...

Any thoughts? I would have gone for a bigger turbo than the 34, like a dom1.5 for example. Swapping the 35 for a 34 ended up costing you a bunch as you first had to buy it, then fit it, then tune it, and at the end of the day it made less power anyways.

As above. Also known as "tractive effort" I'm sure.

I'd say you're on the money for what a VF34 can produce. 16HP is fuck all and will not be noticeable.

When Justin first tuned my car the Dyno read 643whp, when we did it a second time some months later it read 605whp yet the car was a fuck load quicker after the second tuning session.

Moral of the story don't get tied up with figures. If you're happy with how the car drives then just enjoy it. At the end of the day a dyno is just a tuning tool. I pay no attention to figures. Dyno talk is for bragging rights in the pub.
For me its times on the strip that counts. That's where you should find out if your cars improving or not.

The tarmac never lies!

Yeah that's what Justin said too, Dyno isn't the be all and end all, the street drivability is far more important he said, Not trying to find excuse or justify my spending hahaha but yeah I agree what's the point having a pretty dyno figure if it drives like crap I suppose.

Well I guess I have to try it on the track one day... the surge tanks is sure as hell noisy though, I bought the Deatschwerk one as the pump is inside the tank thinking it would be quieter.

Ohhh yeah and the Dyno reads 712Nm Torque, someone mention absurd yeah I was pretty shock too It's definitely not a misprint but what Bram and Trolley said makes sense though, I also don't think it's a real figure, I wish it was hahaha that would've been awesome

Yeah you want the derived torque figure.


One of mine says the torque is almost 1100Nm which is just silly.

The derived figure on another is 690Nm which is much more in line with what I'd expect.

Had an old possum link and replaced it with a G4 + tuned by Justin At BYE Performance . 234hp at wheels , smooth and 600+nm torque . Efficient mechanical team , would definitely recommend their services
